1B - Observational drawing

Lesson: Art and design

The children looked at different materials that could be used to make a nature sculpture, e.g. leaves, stones, feathers, flower petals, wood/sticks, acorns, pinecones.

The children then used their sketch books to create observational drawing of some natural materials they could use to make their own nature sculpture.

They had to look carefully at their natural material and think about what shape is was and if there were any little lines, bumps, wrinkles, spikes and curves.
